Cucumber is a monoecious vegetable. On each vine, every 3 to 4 nodes produce one female flower, and between the female flowers there is a cluster of male flowers. (10 to 12) flowers. When the female and male flowers are open, select mature male flowers to pollinate the female flowers. After pollination, keep 2 to 3 male flowers near the female flower to ensure full pollination. All other male flowers can be removed. This can increase yield by 25 to 30 percent.
